Getting started

What is SpotWhispr?

A free app that lets Upper West Side drivers share street parking spots with neighbors in real time. When you are leaving a spot, you tell the app. When you need one, you claim a spot a neighbor is leaving.

The app is free to download and you start with one free credit. [Add paid credit details if the app offers them.]

Which phones does it work on?

iPhone and Android. [Minimum iOS and Android versions.]

Credits

How do I earn credits?

Share your spot when you leave. When a neighbor claims it, you earn a credit.

What if I run out?

Share your next spot to earn one back. [Add purchase option if available.]

Do credits expire?

[Client to confirm.]

Spots

Is a claimed spot guaranteed?
